A Broadcast Engineer plays a crucial role in the broadcasting industry, ensuring that broadcasts are aired smoothly and on schedule. They are responsible for setting up, maintaining, and troubleshooting the technology and systems used for broadcasting, which include television and radio transmission systems, satellite communications, and computer networks.
